Is this an example of what a Markup Table looks like? It is from: [Markdown Tables generator - TablesGenerator.com](https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables)

Hoping there are prettier options out there/

Yes, that’s how you structure the markdown for a table. That’s the actual markdown code. When placed in a rich text component, it’s rendered as an HTML table which looks better, but it’s very limiting as far as spacing, widths, and styling. I’ve seen other markdown engines do a better job of rendering the table, but when I dabbled with it a few years ago, I could never get it to look satisfactory in glide. All the data was smashed together and didn’t fill the width of the screen. I also couldn’t modify the cell margins and padding, and couldn’t double stack two table rows within a single table row.
